A postel's Vise of Word "Therefore"
Appeals Particularly to Him
Word Made' Vibrant .With' Great
Missionary's Personality,
"Valid Reasons for Faith," was the
topic upon which ;Rev. Benjamin F.
Young. I. tXt, pastor of jTaylpr, Street
Methodist ' church spoke tp bis congre-
fatlon yeaterdav.'-i His text was yf ram
Timothy lv:10: rrherefor we both
labor and suffer reproach, because we
trust tn the living God." Paul's use
f the word "therefore," appealed espe
cially to Dr, Young and his sermon was
ftullt largely around this word and its
: tsse By the apostle. . Dr. .young said in
part: v
"It Js sometimes refreshing; to meet
a man who uses this word 'therefore.'
rt Is one of tne evidences of strong
mentality. Argue with a man And hear
him come down on the counter of de
bate with a 'therefore' and it gives one
a shock. There- Is a poaltlveness about
the us of eueh a word which is really
exasperating. Often we catch back of
It solidity In logical statement, keen
ness of thought and virile power. As
used in the text this is especially true.
It is a favorite word with Paul. One
seems to catchy the Una In his voice
tuna 10 tee tne posittveness or nis man
lier as ne says, Tnererore, Deing ju-
iniea Dy raith, we nave peace wun
God through our lord Jesus Christ.'
There is therefore now no condem
nation to them which are In Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but
after the spirit.' These 'therefores' of
the great apostles are vibrant with the
personality of this great missionary.
"In a few strong words the apostle
has outlined his philosophy of life. A
treat character has erlnped him. A
great love animates him. There ar

One little Newsboy whose street name
Is Patchle was glad yesterday that it
snowed. Until 4 o'clpck he regretted
the snow storm several times every
minute. Then a man came along, bought
a paper, talked with him and it has
looked very different ever since.
Patchle was blue with cold when the
man came down Morrison street. His
teeth- chatered as he carried his
wares. His clothes had been new once,
but that was a long time ago.
All the explanation the man gave the
youngster was that he had been in a
warm country for yoars and years and
that the snow looked like home to htm.
This is what happened: He found out
that Patcbte's luncheon had been very
light indeed, so he took him to the Ho
tel Portland grill. Patchle began to
think he was asleep and dreaming. But
the things they gave him to eat in
that grill were not dream things by
any means, i ,
Then the. man from the warm coun
try took the. boy to a department store
nearby. There Patchle was outfitted
with a stout overcoat, a pair of new
shoes, a pair of mittens, half a doxen
pairs of , warm stockings and a , cap
with ear muffs.
If it , wasn't for --"the new clothes
Patchle 'would, be sure that wonderful
dinner in the big hotel' was a dream.
But the clothes prove that It was no
dream. ,

with rare deeds because of his deep

"The anostle to the Oentlles went

stoned and his; life threatened. Death
seems inevitable but he ceases not to
teach and to breach the doctrines of
the Nazarene. His passion for the
croRs flamed out In glorious achieve
ment and in noble character.
"He had a good reaiOn for his toil
d sacrifice. He trusted In the 'llvin-
God." The 'living God' was the ground
of his activity. I rather like that ex-i
pression of his faith. It Is a good creed

we pecognize the. principle of service we
lift the world to our level. How else
could the world be lifted except by that
system? Was It not by the other method
that It was stayed in Its progress? There
is no advantage In maintaining a dispar
ity between classes of society; in hav
ing one man well educated and another
Ignorant; one immensely rich and an
other poor. It is not by contrast that
we become great.

Rev. E. 8. Muckley delivered his fare

upon ministerial duties. Mr. Muckley s
successor ha not been definitely decid

W. F. Reager of Sacramento will accept
the call. Rev. Muckley said in part last
night
"If you have something which the
world does not possess you are under
obligation to give It to those who are
less fortunate than yourself. I am not
talking now about Christianity. I am
talking about things In general. You
should not use a superior education to
prey upon your fellows. If yon know of
a great opportunity you should share It.
The community should have the benefit
of it. You don't need to think about

OFFICERS FIND TRAGE OF STOCK
STOLEN FROM BONANZA COUNTRY
(Special Dleostch to The Journal.)
Klamath Falls. Or.. Jan. 11. Trace
of a large bunch of horses stolen from
the upper country, near Bonansa, has
been obtained. The animals were found
to have been shipped to Mount Hebron.
A sale was made and the money less
commission is said to have been for
warded to Walter Welch, who lives at
Dairy Or. Welch has since disap
peared. Horse and cattle stealing on a large
scale has been going on for some time
around Bonanza, and the country Is
aroused. Charlee Llskey and Alf Wal
11s are now out on ball, having been
arrested on a charge of cattle stealing.
The cattle are said to have been traced
to the Llskey place, where it is claimed
they were slaughtered. .
Roy Vestal, a young man working
on the Wains place, has been missing
since November 22 and, it is thought
the cattle and horse stealing has a
bearing on his disappearance. The car
load of stolen horses were shipped from
Mount Hebron Just about the time Ves
tal dlsaoneared.
The authorities are - investigating the
different cases, and ' cattle and horse
owners around Bonanza are working on
the various clews. "
